Wikis:
The best use of a wiki is for collaborative knowledge building. A wiki allows for shared ownership for all members, meaning that together the authors of a wiki determine what information is posted online. Because a wiki is a great place to share and document information, it can be thought of as an easy-to-create collaborative website.
Features of a wiki:
Easy to create website
Easy collaboration beyond classroom
Extend discussion beyond the classroom
Trackable page edits
Ideas for classroom wikis:
a resource for all assignments, rubrics, deadlines and resources to increase home-school communication
a “home-base” for bringing multiple tools together
a presentation format to demonstrate student learning
